In this episode of the Rise & Dad Podcast, host Kevin DelRo talks with Pat Barber, the creator of the Fathers Guild, CrossFit coach‑trainer, and father of four boys (13, 10, 7, 3). Pat breaks down his middle‑ground approach to modern fatherhood: personal development first, practical rituals second. He shares experiments he runs on himself (the “no‑yelling” month, daily 10‑second hugs), his take on boundaries vs. softness, and how to meaningfully show love to kids through all love languages. Pat also explains why he stepped into social media despite hating the platform and how to “play the game” without selling out.
🚀 In this episode Pat shares:
✅ Why personal development is the foundation of great parenting
✅ Practical rituals: daily hugs, intentional challenges, and coaching tactics
✅ Balancing strength/boundaries with warmth and touch
✅ How to handle internet backlash and use social media strategically
✅ What dads can do to stay present, healthy, and effective
